Personal Injury Lawyers

Life is unpredictable. A serious accident can impact your health, work, and family life. You can be saddled with thousands of dollars in bills, even if you have insurance. If your accident is due to someone else’s negligence or intentional act, you may have grounds to sue for compensation.

Our personal injury lawyers in Porter County can help you recover your losses:

• Asbestos Injuries. Asbestos exposure can lead to serious illnesses, including lung cancer, pleural effusions, mesothelioma, and scarring in the lungs. Building demolition, fabric milling, and chemical manufacturing are among the occupations more susceptible to asbestos injuries.
• Dog Bite Injuries. Dog bites can cause muscle and tendon damage, permanent scarring and disfigurement, and infection. Proper safety measures like fencing and leashes must be used to keep neighbors and visitors safe. By not doing so, the dog’s owner can be held liable for their dog’s actions.
• Medical Malpractice. We put tremendous trust in the medical community. Unfortunately, a medical professional, facility, or manufacturer falls short of their responsibilities. Errors in the operating room, defective medical devices, medication errors, and delayed diagnosis can have devastating, even life-ending, consequences.
• Motor Vehicle Accidents. Collisions on our roadways are among the most common accidents in Porter County. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians are involved in crashes. Injuries can require extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, medication, and more. These costs are coupled with missed income from not being able to work.
• Premises Liability. Commercial and residential property owners must keep their grounds free of hazards that could cause an injury. When a facility isn’t properly maintained, the property owner is negligent. If you slip and fall due to their oversight, the owner can be held liable for your injuries.
• Workplace Injuries. All Porter County employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover costs related to injuries and illnesses contracted at the workplace. Accidents can sometimes be at the hands of a third party. Equipment manufacturers, drivers, clean-up crews, subcontractors, and others not employed by your company can at fault. Our lawyers will fight for your rights through workers’ compensation and third-party lawsuits.
• Wrongful Death. A wrongful death occurs when the death is caused by the “wrongful act or omission of another.” Individuals and other entities such as a company can be held responsible. These tragedies usually occur during an act of negligence, medical malpractice, or a crime. The family and loved ones left behind deserve to be compensated for their loss.

Time is of the essence. Accident victims have only two years from the date of their injury to file a personal injury claim. Don’t lose your opportunity to receive fair compensation. By calling us right away, you ensure you will not miss the filing deadline. We can also better build a legal strategy because evidence and witness testimony can be dulled with time.

Family Law Attorneys

As the name suggests, legal issues in family law can be quite personal and emotional. Family law disputes are also among the most complex. Our family law attorneys can help you navigate through the challenges of a multitude of family law areas.

The residents of Porter County can rely on Tauber Law Offices in the following legal matters:

• Adoption. As an adoptive mother, attorney Tara Tauber can empathize with the excitement, fear, and uncertainty that are often a part of the adoption process. We can help prepare prospective adoptive parents for home studies, background checks, and other legal requirements. Equally important is the compassionate support you will receive along your adoption journey.
• Child Custody. Child custody can be the most contentious aspect when two parents decide to live separately. Indiana law requires the child’s best interests to be the primary factor in determining how child support is allocated. Whether child custody is put in the hands of a judge or negotiated outside of the courtroom, we will vigorously argue for your rights as a parent and what you believe is best for your child.
• Child Support. Porter County parents are expected to share in the costs of raising their children. The state has a Child Support Guidelines formula that directs much of how support amounts are decided. Numerous elements are included in the calculation of support, so you must have effective legal counsel to ensure each component is accurately reflected.
• Divorce. Indiana is a no-fault state but there are residency requirements. The dissolution of a marriage can be complicated: property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. Our experience enables us to work through every issue no matter how antagonistic and complex the dispute.
• Paternity. Establishing parentage is critical when fathers are seeking visitation rights or mothers are asking for child support. The identities of the parents are presumed when a child is born to a married couple. When parents are unmarried, legal paternity is established through court order or paternity affidavit.

We can provide advice on your options, help you clarify your priorities, and explain your rights and responsibilities. Through every step of the legal process, you will know you have an advocate and legal champion in our Porter County attorneys at Tauber Law Offices.
